Yokohama parada's(older ones) or kuhmo 712's

which tires are better for handling and dry traction???
i could care less about wet traction, i live in AZ:)

I heard the parada's aren't all that great.
Question:
I'm thinking about getting 17" RH Z5000's myself. Did you wrap yours with 215/40's or 215/45's?

Paradas are "good" in the dry and marginal at best in wet.

Kumhos are "ok" in the dry and "excellent" in wet.

I would'nt buy either.

go with kumho

well i have a friend that got new rims and my kuhmo's are getting pretty worn out.
he's giving me all 4 tires for 50 bucks and i want to do it, so should i?
my kuhmo's arent very good right now...
oh my tires are 215 40 zr 17

[nyoneway]

$50 + $60 mount and balance rims = $110. Not really worth it, since Kumho are only good in wet and worned Kumho are good in neither.

well i can probally get a friend to mount them for free...
i have the kuhmo's right now and there pretty worn...
the ones i might get have a lot of tire left compaired to mine.
and he's never lowered his car so the wear is even:)
still think its a bad choice?

how many miles are you guys getting with the kumhos until they get worn out? i just ordered them, to replace my stock tires.

[X-EVIL-X]

well ive had em for probally a year or so.
after a while they get worn out and cant grip very well.
the stock yoko's are better for traction
